Jack
Dempsey is considered by many as one of the greatest boxers
pound-for-pound who ever fought in the ring; He moved well and was
extremely quick, agile and skillful

He was a two-handed fighter who could box or punch; His jab was quick
and accurate; His right hand punch was stiff; He was game and cool under
pressure; He could fight whatever style was needed to win; In short, he
was a crafty boxer-puncher who was an excellent ring general

He often fought men 10-25 pounds heavier; Many felt that Jack would beat
the Heavyweight Champion, John L. Sullivan, if he were only a little
heavier

Dempsey was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1954 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in
1992
